Question

I am a bit confused on a certain functionality I would like to implement into a website using the Instagram API. I would like to access my own feed based on my user ID from the Instagram API and display them on my site. It is saying that there is a way to do client side OAuth authentication but I am a bit confused on how I would go about this. I am fairly okay with JavaScript and if someone could point me in the right direction I am sure I could figure it out.

Any best practices would be great.

Thank you in advance,

JN

You’re asking how to use Client-Side (Implicit) Authentication for Instagram.

Here are a couple JS libraries made for it:
